Barn Again

Fayetteville, Arkansas | 2013

Baltimore, Maryland | 2014

Inspired by Phoebe Lickwar’s photography of Falling Barns from the Ozark region, this installation synthesized two oppositional conditions whose qualities were consistently revealed in the images: the persistent iconic figure of the flat gambrel façade and the dynamic filigreed space of collapsing wood members suspended in animation. As such we combined techniques from the recent history of the architectural folly beginning with profile to create the memorable image of vernacular or iconic form that transforms into an animated volume of flocking lines made possible by parametric procedures.
